posting this  :doge oped before era does, so you can pre-emptively :mindblown the parts people who hate gaming now will go "wow so true" about
Proper emoticons are :snore :boring :popular

I like how she says she's afraid of "doxxing" and spends so much time curating her online presence to protect her from the "alt-right" yet her name is all you need to find everything out about her. English major working for a decade as a "freelance writer and producer" and now partners with Leigh Alexander in her scam. She's been whining about "white supremacy" in games for a couple years yet she married your average white male Twitter mansplainer:


She perfectly fits the stereotype of these sorts. That do as I say not as I do energy.

Go and on about the evils of white supremacy and yet end up married to a white guy.

I know a ton of Asian, Indian and Black women. All left leaning, self described queer, or non gender etc who never shut up about how bad white people are, about white supremacy and about the rampant micro aggressions they get from ‘yts' and yet only date white men.

I mean like who you like but why the bullshit act?

NepNep gives off that kind of energy every time I see her post. I know some white dude slipping in that.

Something Zeo doesn't quite understand, is that sites like gaf or 4chan actually side with Depp. Instead those responses are very Gamerghazi esque, a reddit they usually love so much

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamerGhazi/comments/v2pih2/on_the_verdict_in_the_deppheard_defamation_trial/

Quote
Depp's case against Heard found that the half sentence in a piece written by the ACLU and published in the Washington Post was defamation “with malice" and has awarded Depp $15 million in damages, and Heard $2 million in damages.

Legal verdicts do not always reflect the truth, since both judges and juries are capable of bias.

We have examined the evidence, prior verdicts and proceedings to the best of our ability, and firmly believe that Depp was the abuser, and that Herd's actions were in reaction or defence. Mutual abuse is rare, and there is very little reason to believe that their relationship meets the definition.

Michael Hobbes (@RotteninDenmark on Twitter) has done a number of good threads analyzing the evidence, which supports that this is a pretty standard case of husband-on-wife domestic abuse. The only extraordinary thing here is the level of fame of the abuser, and the extent to which his fame and money has enabled him to continue harassing his ex-wife.

To be fair, they make a pretty strong argument by citing a random twitter dude
What, you don't think the co-host of Maintenance Phase, a podcast debunking the junk science behind health fads, wellness scams, and nonsensical nutrition advice is a credible expert on both domestic violence and the legal matters of civil suits in two different countries?
What's funny is that Michael Hobbes regularly spreads his own junk science, illiteracy and other garbage all over Twitter and through his podcasts. He blocks anyone who corrects or criticizes him. So it's not surprising he's become the foremost expert on the Gamergate-D*pp alliance for people who want nothing to do with finding out about the trial but everything to do with using the trial as support for their never ending online culture war.

They hang everything on the UK verdict claiming it proves abuse but you don't even have to read the entire ruling to find out the court was merely ruling on whether or not a tabloid could publish those things, not whether or not they should be considered true.

What's funny is they don't even realize that US courts make the same kind of determinations, courts weighing "if the statements alleged are true" is done for every case before it proceeds because even if everything is true doesn't mean you have an actual case. Their willful ignorance is confusing process for results.

I will say that the viciousness around Amber Heard was way worse than someone like, say, Harvey Weinstein got, a man that committed much worse crimes than her. His conviction didn't trend on Twitter nor get tens of millions of views on YouTube.

And I do think sexism had a role in that. I guess the evil, conniving woman makes for a better villian than a powerful Hollywood man.

Quote from: Prax
I think it's misogyny but ALSO people are pretty nasty when people who claim to be victims in the first place get convincngly proven they were not and were in fact the abusers and duped people into having sympathy.

That kind of backlash comes hard due to ye olde switcheroo antics.

Compared to Weinstein who was accused to be an abusive asshole and was convincingly proven to be. Expectations met.

Quote from: Plagiarize
So... they called for the appropriate people to save the guy as soon as he indicated he was in distress right?

Cause if they didn't, everyone in this thread saying 'They did the right thing' is going to look extremely stupid.

And if you're giving *these* cops the benefit of the doubt, as they made fun of a drowning guy... you should check yourself pretty fucking thoroughly.

Quote from: Plagiarize
Seriously people.

There's zero indication these cops called in the appropriate help, which is precisely what they should have done.

Quote from: Plagiarize
Call.
For.
Help.

Some responses to the moron -

Who are you gonna call, aquaman?

 :lol

Quote
You do realise calling in help doesn’t make them just spawn in on the scene like a video game? The guy’s already drowning, he’s dead by the time anyone can drive over regardless.

Quote from: Plagiarize
That's irrelevant.

Sometimes doing the right thing won't be enough. It's still the right thing though!

That right there is why ree is the way it is.

Of the official crew, Patrick always seemed like the most disliked. Ben and Abby were both disliked when they joined. Everybody else had their niche haters. Except Drew. Everybody likes Drew. The Irish dude and Mary were the two gamespot employees people wanted to join GB. Or John Carpenter. He would’ve been a great member during demo derby.

Quote from: Incelsiorlef
That's what the second part of joke is professing... it is using bisexual as a standin for promiscuous (or worse) for misogynistic word play purposes.

The only reason the joke isn't just exactly as crude and fucked up as what I explained it as is because the people telling it think their performing creative word play.

Largely that is in fact why I translated it that way, to cut out the cute bullshit and say exactly what the message was that Dave Weigel retweeted

This is just hilarious. Incel simply declaring that this is what the joke is actually about. If you want to say "intent doesn't matter", sure go ahead if that's what you think, but to just declare your own interpretation as the absolute truth is too fucking funny. In reality the only who called bi-sexuals sluts is her

Quote from: Ragnar
One after another, the leftist YouTubers I subscribe to have taken Heard's side in this case, and express their dismay at the outcome and its ramifications. Most of these weren't a huge loss, and of course I can do without all of them.
But one show that I enjoy immensely is Some More News, and now Cody and Katy have come out as being wholly on the side of Heard in this case. I don't really think I can trust their intellectual rigour when it comes to their video subjects when they so obviously put it aside in a case like this.
That is the fucked up part, the moment you doubt some of their content, you end up questioning if all the content has the same problem.
This case shows that the only protection against this is to have access to the source, not the opinions. And unfortunately, it takes a lot of work and hours of free time that we often don't have.

I'd appreciate a bit more of an explanation as to why it is a thread derail.

We've had similar conversations like this in the past that have been allowed (see: every Cyberpunk thread prior to the OT rule). Why is the line in the sand being drawn here? If we can't bring up problematic stances about the actual subjects of the thread, then what are we allowed to do?

Shit is popping off in the new giant bomb hires thread. ZeroVag got warned for attempted detail for bringing up grubb being a piece of shit who can fuck offffffffff. People are suddenly wondering why you can't bring up the subject of a threads problematic tweets.

Kyuji the hypocrite posting around them, pretending not to notice and just participating in the hype!

No link because i have to go to work now! Should be a fun one to watch.

While I agree wholly with Sonmez here and Weigel needs to be gone, just a point of note. Moira Donegan whose tweet is in the OP, is also the person who wrote an entire article in the guardian siding with abuser Amber Heard and how supporting Depp is misogyny. Not sure if she needs to be highlighted in the OP here. She has no credibility as a journalist after that totally nonsensical article.

It's your OP, shouldn't you find another source instead of linking to a journalist who writes articles defending a domestic abuser?

Sigh. Okay, let me go look.
This is a ridiculous expectation for citations that are purely citational and that has nothing to do with that situation. She's not even being cited for her opinion

I hope everyone keeps up the pressure up, anyone else would have been marked as problematic and had the. "we don't provide a platform for that persons content here."

The issue is a lot of the mod team want to support Amber, but know how utterly crazy they’d look. So they trot out the stay on topic warnings.

Every other time people are free to call out stuff they find problematic. In fact mods will threadmark stuff and add it to thread titles and opening posts. There was a Top Gun thread last week talking about its box office haul, where a few posters kept posting about scientology and how Cruise has slave labour build his planes. It was allowed to continue, despite others saying it was a derail. Yet now people are getting warned about derailing?

Whats the difference here? Because Grubb sometimes posts on Reee his protected? or mods knowing banning Grubb content would halve most of the threads that get the most hits on the site especially now his on GB.

As usual they get to pick and choose what they enforce.

I’m surprised ZeoVGM the archetypal lickspittle is actually calling out the mods.

The more worrying thing for Ree mods and their protected posters is the farmyard is beginning to question the farm house.

It was always going to happen eventually. Just like the insane alt right boogeyman some of them obsess over. The social media ‘left’ and ‘progressives’ have slowly gone so far to the other side from what most of us consider 'left wing' that their opposite insanity has become too much for most people.

What I’m hearing is the mods are handling it how they should’ve handled similar instances in the past. It’d be a step in the right direction if there’s consistency in future instances. #backthepurple

Isn’t this consistent with his values of helping the black community? I remember hearing about the dude donating to black causes since The Chappelle Show.

Support of Vic Mignogna was allowed to be brought up in every Reuben Langdon thread
Support of Jontron was allowed to be brought up in every Nakeyjakey and Justin Roiland thread
Support of Boogie was allowed to be brought up in every Geoff Keighley thread
Support of Pewdiepie was allowed to be brought up in every animeman thread
Support of Pewdiepie was allowed to be brought up in every Jacksepticeye/Markiplier thread
Support of Pewdiepie was allowed to be brought up in every Kinda Funny/Greg Miller thread
A joke about Pewdeipie was allowed to be brought up in every Girlfriend Reviews thread
A tweet by a social media guy that doesn't even work for the company anymore and some clumsy trans depictions prevents Cyberpunk 2077 from getting anything outside its dedicated thread

It didn't matter how annoyed other people get, it was the rule and people that didn't care either had to ignore it or could take their chance at a "dismissing concerns" ban.

Era staff have 3 options here.

1. Consider the stances/actions of the subject in question irrelevant to bring up if it doesn't affect what the thread is about.

2. Acknowledge that site-connected entities like Jeff Grubb are not subject to this rule, and thus look like biased assholes.

3. Ignore it entirely while they ban everyone critical of him.

I'm betting on 3.

Imagine if Schreier threw his support behind Heard.  Would like to see that thread.

The great thing is that if Grubb would backtrack his statement he'd now have the Gamerghazi people on his ass. There's no more winning.

Kyuuji, a big reason threads can be overtaken by the subject's problematic history, has a big presence in there.  She meanwhile celebrates in the new Giantbomb crew thread, dodging any discussion about Grubb's stance.

It's all fun and games until it happens to someone you like.  Some might be realizing it's not a tenable position to have, especially in an inherently problematic (according to some people) space like gaming.  All it took was a male victim of abuse getting justice for them to realize it.

I'll give ZeoVGM props for being consistent here, and even examining his own biases when it happened to someone he liked (Kanye).

An astroturfing thread

 :confused :confused :confused

And still waiting for the evidence of all this damage hes done to trans people. As opposed to the actually murdered people from Buffalo.

“Why post this?”

Because its wonderful news? We all know none of you over there give a shit about the shooting victims beyond performative message board posting but no need to actually confirm it by claiming the news is fucking astroturfing.

Usually in threads like those, showing any sort of positive--or even being neutral--affirmation toward the person or entity in question gets you insta-banned for being "insensitive." I'm sure a lot of the BCT crew probably support what Dave is doing. But you know TransEra will raise hell. They are doing so already. Be interesting to see how the mods handle this one.
